US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

He doesn't know if the Census Bureau is part of the department he runs?! Or he doesn't know the Census Bureau establishes the poverty line?

Either way, that's the kind of staggering admission of utter cluelessness that should get this ass-kissing toady shown the door
KENNEDY: The Census Bureau is under your jurisdiction & responsible for defining what it means to be poor, is that right?

In 1943, musician Woody Guthrie placed a message on his guitar: "This machine kills fascists."

I am part of a group that's shipped half a million free 3D-printed whistles to defend against ICE — 200,000 of them in the first week of February alone.

This is the story of the "Whistle Crew."

Goldman: You said references to ICE as secret police encourages threats. The problem is you have it backwards sir. People are making valid observations about your tactics which are outright fascist. If you don’t want to be called a fascist regime, stop acting like one.

This is sickening. For comparison, this is more than the Department of Energy spent for all solar power and wind power R&D for the whole country.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Should you get snatched out of your home on April 21st because you didn’t file your taxes on time? The government is focused on immigrants now but if you set the precedent that people should get kidnapped over paperwork there’s a whole lot of people who can get taken next

The "Worst of the Worst" Lie. Fewer than 14% of the nearly 400k arrests made by ICE have violent records. Less than 2% are for homicide or sexual assault. Only 1.9% are alleged gangmembers. 40% had no criminal record at all.
Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows
The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

Then covered it up again when caught.

Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.
